Chapter 5: There is no good thing to say about the chaos

Chen Zichen's words seemed to have reached King Qi's heart, King Qi was stunned, and swallowed back the words on his lips, thinking about what happened all night last night seemed to be meaningless, and there was nothing to say. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Chen Zichen has decided to stand with King Qi and face everything.

"Zichen, have you really thought about it?" King Qi asked again with insufficient confidence.

"The king, the minister has decided." Facing King Qi's eyes, Chen Zichen replied decisively.

King Qi never seemed to have such courage and confidence. He smiled happily, even though the future was unknown.

"Okay, Zichen, I really didn't misunderstand you. You go back and rest first, I guess Master Chen is also very worried about you. King Qi said thoughtfully.

Chen Zichen nodded, promised to come down, and indeed didn't say anything to his father when he came back, too, I haven't seen him for so many years, and I don't know how to speak.

Regarding what others say that they haven't seen all year round, they are like old friends at first sight, and what are they crying when they see it, Chen Zichen has some doubts about the truth in his heart. Let's ask, a person who hasn't seen him for many years doesn't know anything about his experience, and then when he sees it, he is like an old friend, and he may not dare to accept it.

..

"Chen Zhuang, is Chen'er back?" Chen Fudao came to Chen Zichen's courtyard in the morning and asked, he heard Chen Zhuang talk about those experiences last night, and he stayed awake all night after going back, he wanted to take a closer look at his little son.

"Master, the young master came back early in the morning and fell asleep. I guess I didn't have a night off last night. Chen Zhuang replied in a low voice.

Chen Fudao nodded and told Chen Zhuang to wait until the young master woke up and then call him.

As the capital of Qi State, Lingyang City is very lively, with an endless stream of people coming and going, and there are also a lot of traders.

It was noon, and the streets were at their busiest.

"My lord, what kind of attitude do you say Qi Guo has?" A middle-aged man dressed in Qin State costume asked another middle-aged man next to him who was older than him. Not only in age, but also in rank.

The man with slightly white temples at the head was none other than Gou Yue, the envoy of the Qin State, and the middle-aged man who was questioning him was Zhang Yun, the deputy envoy.

"Lord Zhang doesn't know if I've heard about it, but there was a lot of controversy about the Qin-Qi alliance at the Qi State Court meeting yesterday." Gou Yue said with a mysterious smile.

"Oh? It seems that Master Gou is also attentive in Qi State. Zhang Yun praised very smartly.

"What does Master Zhang think will be the result of this alliance?" Gou Yue asked deliberately.

Although both of them were envoys sent by the King of Qin, the people they were loyal to were different. He Gou Yue also made a difference in the Qin State, unlike Zhang Yun, who came in by relying on relationships. Although there were also factions in the Qin State, no one in the Tianwei of the King of Qin dared to show it in the open, and most of them were discussed in private.

"As a righteous envoy, Master Gou has already had a plan in his heart, Zhang is just here to fight the autumn breeze, why bother asking me." Zhang Yun seemed to have expected that Gou Yue would interrogate him, so he didn't say anything substantial.

Gou Yue sneered in his heart, although he didn't know why the prince sent such a person to follow him to mention the alliance, but he still had to follow the prince's orders.

"Lord Chen, Gongzi Ling was valued by the king this time, and he ran an errand for the king, congratulations." Yu Dehai said to Chen Fudao with a smile.

Chen Fudao was a little shocked in his heart, his son had just come back, and the king had sealed a six-grade rite meeting, which was not important, the most important thing was that the inner court walked. I don't know what his son said to the king, but such a reward is really unpredictable, but he sees that his son gladly accepted it, and it seems to be expected.

"It's time for the manager." Chen Fudao said politely, although the other party is just a small eunuch, but the energy is not to be underestimated.

"Chen Gongzi, no, Chen Shiyi, I must go to you tomorrow morning." Yu Dehai instructed Chen Zichen, mainly this is what King Qi meant.

Chen Zichen said in his heart that King Qi's speed is really good, and he directly made himself an official, which is probably also a result of King Qi's thoughts, and I am afraid that there will be a good show tomorrow.

"Elder Liu, what do you say the king is doing? A hairy boy with no foundation and no achievements jumped to the Ministry of Rites to discuss matters? What is this for? A middle-aged man grumbled.

"Hehe, he's Chen Fudao's son." The person called Liu Lao said with a smile. He is the current cabinet elder, the secretary of the ministry, and Liu Wenjian, a member of the second rank.

"What's wrong with Chen Fudao's son, isn't your beloved son still being the magistrate, why is his Chen Fudao's son treated differently as soon as he comes?" The middle-aged man said with some reluctance.

"Shijie, your mentality hasn't been calmed down yet, and you're unwilling to do a matter in the ministry." Liu Wenjian saw Song Shijie's thoughts at a glance.

Song Shijie polished for fourteen or fifteen years to do the affairs of the ministry, and Chen Fu's Taoist boy heard that he had just come back from outside and became an official, and no one felt comfortable. However, Liu Wenjian has been an official for so many years, and he also knows some small things, not to mention that Chen Fudao is not simpler than himself, does he want his son to be in the limelight so much? I'm afraid he's in a quandary now.

"Chen'er, what's going on, King He.." Chen Fudao asked worriedly.

"Father, don't worry, there's nothing, it's just the king's compensation to me." Chen Zichen comforted his father. He was afraid that his father would think about it, and he was reluctant to tell his father what he thought, because he was sure what his father was doing. Sometimes the family is larger than the individual.

Now, the first important news in Lingyang City is that Chen Fudao's young son has returned from traveling, the official seal of the Ministry of Rites is on the agenda, and the inner court is walking.

"Lord Gou, this Qi country is really lively, a person who has just come of age, and a person who has just returned to China has been made a big official, it seems that it is really corrupt." Zhang Yun said disdainfully.

Gou Yue suddenly had a bad premonition, but he couldn't say what it was.

"Yes, with a background and knowledge, it's not surprising that it can be reused." Gou Yue echoed.

..

"Lord Chen, what a blessing, what a blessing." In the morning, the people who came to the court congratulated Chen Fu in twos and threes.

Chen Fudao didn't know how to say it, and replied vaguely.

"There is a morning music, and there is no retreat." The great eunuch shouted. It seems that this reprimand, the sleepy-eyed people in the hall suddenly came to their senses.

"The king, the minister Xu Yuanqing has a play." Xu Yuanqing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, asked the first question again.

"Aiqing or is it for the sake of the alliance?" King Qi asked with relief.

"Exactly, the Qin envoy has been in Lingyang for many days, how to negotiate, please ask the king to set the regulations." Xu Yuanqing said.

"Zhong Aiqing once again said his opinion, and today must make a charter." King Qi glanced at the ministers and said.

"The king, the minister is still the lord and the peace, and the advantages of the alliance outweigh the disadvantages, and it is for the benefit of the Qi country." It is still the people of the Lord and the faction who are arguing about the Lord and the Lord.

"It's not proper, it's not proper, the minister thinks that it shouldn't be able to form an alliance, once it is in alliance with the Qin State, it will be dragged down by the Qin State, and when the Xishan Qiu Alliance collapses, the Qin State is likely to use troops, and at that time we will be passive. Besides, if I am a great whole, how can I be afraid of other countries? "The main war faction has appropriately expressed its views, and once the war breaks out, it will be able to reap a lot of benefits from it.

Chen Zichen looked at the palace of King Qi, full of spirits, although he had entered the palace yesterday, he did not go to the main gate, nor did he "appreciate" the palace. A refurbished official robe, matched with him, seems to have the image of a great Confucian. The palace guards had already received orders from the palace to let the young adult go all the way.

"Liu Shangshu, what do you think?" King Qi did not ask Chen Fudao this time, but turned his head to ask Liu Wenjian, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials.

"The King. If the interests of our Daqi cannot be guaranteed, even if the alliance exists, if it can make my Daqi profitable, the alliance will not hurt. Liu Wenjian gave an answer, but he still didn't say anything, all he said was to deal with people.

After Liu Wenjian finished speaking, he deliberately glanced at Chen Fudao, he saw that Chen Fudao was absent-minded, and deliberately said, "What does Lord Chen think?" ”

Chen Fudao was distracted just now, how did he know what he said, so he had to laugh and say: "I don't think it matters what it is, what does the king think?" ”。 As he spoke, he kicked the ball to King Qi.

"I think what Liu Aiqing said is right, what can't bring benefits to my Qi country can't be an alliance." King Qi then said.

"Great King, the minister replied to the Qin envoy like this." A big stone in Xu Yuanqing's heart was finally put down.

"No, this matter has to be discussed in the long run." Dong Li, the secretary of the military department, said lightly. He is the core figure of the main battle faction, he does not agree with the alliance to sue for peace, and the king of Qi also has to consider his feelings.

"Oh? Why did Dong Aiqing say this? King Qi asked.

"Great King, if there is an alliance, the Qin State will definitely be tempted by interests, but once the Qin State paralyzes the enemy and us, once the Qin State becomes bigger in the future, the Qi State will be in danger." Dong Li said earnestly. He is only in his forties, and Liu Wenjian, who is nearly sixty years old, has gray hair at a glance, which shows that he usually works hard.

"What Dong Aiqing said is not unreasonable, seeing that the discussion is imminent, which Aiqing is willing to mention the matter of the widow undertaking the alliance?" King Qi asked.

No one squeaked in the hall, and Chen Fudao secretly said in his heart that it was not good.

"Since all the Aiqing don't help the widow share their worries, then the widow will appoint one person, how about you take a look?" King Qi's face was a little pale, and he couldn't find anyone who could share his worries in the huge court.

"It's up to the king." All the ministers said in unison, only Chen Fudao was absent-minded.

"Okay, Xuan Chen Zichen will go to the palace." King Qi said to the great eunuch.

"Xuan, Chen Zichen go to the palace.." The great eunuch shouted.

Liu Wenjian glanced at Chen Fudao, and saw Chen Fudao's face scorched, so he knew that he didn't understand this matter, but he didn't worry, a hairy boy was not enough for him to pay attention to, whether it was an alliance or not, it didn't hurt him.
